Vinod Nayak 443 Report post Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) I have updated to 4.3 by following the link below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1iYdjtIjq0 GSM unlock works with this update. New icons, lot of new things. Will update in next post. If you are in custom recovery, download stock recovery (recovey.img) from the link below http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40850611 Use this recovery.img to flash using mobile odin lite from play store. Remember the update has to be placed in the external sd card. Use stock recovery, install update from external sd card, flash. Will take around 20 mins. IMPORTANT if you have any MODS installed, please uninstall it then flash MF9 firmware and only then update to MJA.

Vinod Nayak 443 Report post Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) IMPORTANT if you have any MODS installed, please uninstall it then flash MF9 firmware and only then update to MJA. 4.3 also has KNOX SECURITY, So if you want to root make sure you are rooted before updating. Updating from rooted 4.2 to 4.3 won't lose root. For some reason you won't see superuser app in menu. You can find it only in Applications menu under settings. Warning Please flash at your own risk. The New Knox SECURITY won't allow to go back to MF9. For some reason I lost root while trying freeze the Knox apps. Lot of people have reported bricking of their S4 on XDA.

Vinod Nayak 443 Report post Posted November 4, 2013 [GUIDE]How to safely root MJA 4.3 This post also has a script which is flashable through custom recovery which completely removes Knox security. Both the author and I have flashed this script and completely removed the Knox out of firmware. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2511156 '> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2511156 Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amit.shippie 135 Report post Posted November 8, 2013 I updated my S4 by following the procedure posted by XDA member Ingenium13 on XDA. The best part of updating by this way is; you will not lose any of your current data and settings. Also your phone will be updated with complete firmware i.e. bootloader, radio, stock recovery and OS. Following is the link for complete guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2509605 You dont have to uninstall/Install anything. Remember the Joshm way of updating our Fascinate via ODIN 1. Make a complete backup of your phone via your current recovery.\ 2. Download all the required file as specified in above link. 3. Place MJA update file on your SD Card. (Remember not to put in Phone memory) 4. Start ODIN in your computer and load the stock MF9 through PDA. Make sure re-partition is not checked in ODIN 5. Power off the phone completely and then go into download mode by holding VolDown+Home+Power button together. 6. Connect your phone to computer. (See if ODIN has detected it? In my case I had to connect the phone first and then start ODIN.) 7. Load the stock MF9 through ODIN. Reboot to check that your Data is not lost. Now you are on stock MF9. 8. Reboot to stock recovery by holding down VolUP+Home+Power button together. 9. Select Install from zipcard and navigate to the stock MJA file you put in your SD card in step 3. Flash it. 10. After Flashing you will see that you are on stock 4.3 and all your data is still intact. Now you can root your phone by using Chainfire’s CF-auto root file. Just download the auto root file and flash it through ODIN.

amit.shippie 135 Report post Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) Freezed Knox via ROM toolbox Lite. I saw somewhere on XDA the procedure to remove Knox. By the way what is the use of removing Knox at present? I am able to do everything in my phone. Edited November 8, 2013 by amit.shippie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vinod Nayak 443 Report post Posted December 25, 2013 The first post was posted in Oct. It's a OTA update. No loss of data. The hotpot mod that's mentioned in your link does not work on Non Sprint activated S4 Unfortunately. Other than that you can follow your heart as of which one to flash in the link you mentioned. Make sure you read the post properly and only then go ahead. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amitmehta8513 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2014 Hello all, I am fairly new user with the rimweb and need some help from experts. I am using Samsung Galaxy S4 (SPH-L720) with reliance, from couple of days I an getting an update notification from Google Play that the update has been downloaded and ready to install. I am not sure if that update would lose the connectivity with Reliance on my phone, however I would like to update my phone to the latest version. Any help or guidance in getting the phone updated would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
